BAHRAIN

Entertainment:

Shopping:

There are numerous tourist attractions in Bahrain. Dedicated shoppers will wish to head for Seef Mall with its multitude of international stores, eating outlets and cinemas.

Opened in 1997, and developed by Seef Properties, Seef Mall was designed by Raglan Squire and Partners. Today, the Mall currently stands over 100,000 square metres, representing the largest mall in Kingdom of Bahrain.

Designed in Arabesque style with glass domes, stained glass windows and marble flooring, Seef Mall boasts four anchor stores, two food courts, two cinema multiplexes offering sixteen screens and Magic Island – the first family entertainment centre of its kind in the Middle East.

Seef Mall offers an exotic combination of a vast variety of international retail brands, theme cafes and restaurants, fast food outlets, cinemas and outstanding entertainment facilities.

No Visit to Bahrain would be completed without a trip to the soukh , with its profusion of colors, sounds, and aromas. All wares are sold, from cloth of colors and textures to gold and jewelry as well as the traditional array of spices and local produce. Bartering is expected, and indeed turns the whole experience of shopping into a challenge to see who can obtain the best price. The central market, completed in 1978, provides modern facilities for trades, which were unavailable, when the market took place in the soukh. It is well worth a visit, if only to enjoy the brightly colored display of fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as the scents of the herbs, nuts and spices.

Nightlife:

For a small country, there is a surprising abundance of clubs and pubs - many within walking distance of each other, and they deliver everything you could possibly want, from top DJs and live music to karaoke and pub quizzes.
